jbj 6 gallon nano

[rudyistaken]

I have been looking at one for my office to keep some corals and perhaps a mantis shrimp.

Are they a good system in all? Any issues?

I notice they are harder to find then the 12 gallon and 24 so I am wondering if they are flawed, or I guess too small.

Well i was looking into getting one and i found this out. They arnt very many places cuz the market for 6 gallon tanks isnt that great... stock they are great for keeping some softies and shroom(dont come with much lighting stock)... be careful if you want a mantis in one (the bigger ones will crack the glass).... one of the issues i have heard of with nano cubes... im not shure if its also with the 6 gallon... but they have a tendancy to crack for no reason. hope this helps.

I have a 6gal JBL, I love it, but the fans are noisey after 6 months.. I upgraded the pump, and the lighting (36w)

here's a pic after I tore it down and cleaned it out (which explains the bleached coraline on the back wall..

It's not much, but it's in my guest bathroom... I've been wanting to add more rock but haven't got around to it... the rock and coral are just transplants from my 120gal

Are you crazy putting two tangs in a six gallon? it dosen't matter how small they are you should move them to your 120 gallon.

I would bet that the 2nd pic is of his 120 gal. Just looking at the scale of the rocks and corals I'm doubting that that's a pic of the 6 gal.
